Abuja – The Federal Government said on Wednesday that some politicians found to have links with terrorist activities in Balmo forest, recently raided by the military, were being investigated.

The Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, said this on Wednesday while giving update on the current security situation in the North-East.

The military had said that the forest, which stretched from Bauchi through Jigawa and linking the fringes of Sambisa in Borno, was used by terrorists as bases and hideouts for launching attacks.

Omeri said the politicians were being investigated because of the recovery of some sensitive registration cards and materials of a prominent political party found in possession of some of the arrested suspects.
